Excerpt from The Thread of Gold I have for a great part of my life desired, perhaps more than I have desired anything else, to make a beautiful book; and I have tried, perhaps too hard and too Often, to do this, without ever quite succeeding; by that I mean that my little books, when finished, were not worthy to be compared with the hope that I had had of them. I think now that I tried to do too many things in my books, to amuse, to interest, to please persons who might read them; and I fear, too, that in the back of my mind there lay a thought, like a snake in its hole - the desire to show others how fine I could be. I tried honestly not to let this thought rule me; whenever it put its head out, I drove it back; but Of course I ought to have waited till it came out, and then killed it, if I had only known how to do that; but I suppose I had a secret tenderness for the little creature as being indeed a part Of myself.

Excerpt from Grey and Gold Let me try to describe it. The features were tolerably regular, but hard, and far too strongly marked to be agree able in youth the complexion was very dark and colourless the mouth firmly set; the lips compressed; the chin re solute, and even obstinate; the cheek-bones showed pain fully, and there were hollows in the temples, all the more visible because the dark, abundant hair was drawn, or rather strained, tightly back from the forehead, and fastened in a Slovenly, ungraceful knot at the back of the head. But the head itself was finely formed a phrenologist would have been enraptured with it the intellectual organs were so beautifully developed - or, rather, in a state to be de veloped, if only somebody would take a little trouble with them; but up to this time certainly no one had ever given himself, or herself, any trouble in the matter. Meanwhile, the massiveness Of the brow gave one only the idea Of heaviness and sullenness, which was in no wise an im provement to the singular, unprepossessing face. The eyes were grey, of a soft, shadowy hue many persons thought they were black, as they glanced out, sometimes in wrath, and sometimes in weary scorn, from the fringes of long, dark, curled eyelashes but they were not black, or brown, or blue, but veritable, clear, full grey! Which Byron de clared was, after all, the only really expressive colour for eyes! I think, in default Of any other Simile, I would call this girl's eyes iron-grey.

Excerpt from Woven of Many Threads F or months Constance was inconsolable, scarcely eating or sleeping, wandering from her sister's grave to her chamber, weeping with her head upon the pillow where she had so Often rested, or pressing her tear stained face almost frantically to the green sod that covered the last. Resting-place of the beloved dead. If it had not been for her brother, who, fearing grief would kill the child, left his studies at Oxford and devoted himself to her, she surely must have succumbed to her deep sorrow. As he tried every means to divert her, she gradually became more cheerful, but never again the light-hearted, happy child she had been before. Two years after, that idolized brother, in all the strength and glory Of youth, was brought from Oxford to his childhood's home, hopelessly insane. Over-study in preparing to graduate had affected a ner vous excitable temperament, and an already overtasked brain, so as to extinguish for ever the light Of reason. For six months he lingered in that terrible darkness, some times gentle and tractable as a child, or again raving in the strongest and wildest delirium.
